One observer said: “I don't know if this is a Halloween thing or if Milton Keynes teens are really into devil worship.”
Another said: “It’s offensive and worrying and I’d like to see it removed as soon as possible.”
The graffiti has been reported to Milton Keynes City Council, which is responsible for the removal of graffiti and fly positing on land or on assets within its control.
The council’s contractors normally aim to remove offensive scrawlings within one working day and non-offensive graffiti of fly posting within five working days.
